18 wheels and two little cousins!

We started the morning at 6:45 loading up in the semi truck, none of us were moving that quickly. 



And 30 miles down the road we had a whiney tired baby, a bloody nose and one crazy mama. 



But Have I mentioned how cute they are together? 


We Got to Ellinwood and loaded uncle Blake's cattle after a few hugs and hellos! 




Oh....Anyone remember this...last year when we hauled BDD's cattle East! 


Well here's the same place and same face a year later..



Cooper didn't care to recreate the picture from last year, so this is as good as it got. 






Of course once we got going we blew out a tire, Because every event has to have something go wrong. But Blake handled it like a champ and changed the tire almost as fast as a pit crew would have. 


Cooper rode halfway there with Papa and Grandad....here's the pic I got a few miles down the road. He was a tired cowboy! 


When we got there we unloaded the cattle and turned them out. 





Blake's just as good lookin as he was a year ago! ...What a relief for him to have them delivered safe and sound to green grass!! 






It was a fun day to be part of.

We fed Dolly when we got home, and everyone was moving just about as slow as we were at 6:45 AM. 


....this little cowboy is done for the day! [and so is his mama!]
